Snapshots from God
A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather that
morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trip to
school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with
thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her
daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she herself
feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.
Following the roar of thunder, the lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut
through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly got in her car and drove
along the route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up
and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly, each with the little girl stopping, looking up and
smiling.
Finally, the mother called over to her child and asked, "What are you doing?"
The child answered, "Just smiling. God keeps taking pictures of me,"
